I expect to see Aggronautix new throbblehead bouncing on dashboards all over Austin. Roky is a local hero and lord knows every hero deserves a throbblehead. At $19.95, it’s affordable for slackers, hipsters and heads alike.

Roky Erickson, founding father of psychedelic rock gods The 13th Floor Elevators, has been immortalized in the throbblehead kingdom.

This figure capturing Roky’s look circa 1980, or “The Evil One” era, is limited to 1000 numbered units, stands at 7 inches tall, and is made of super strong polyresin.

Displayed in a window box, Roky is accurately sculpted right down to the grizzly beard, wild hair and Vanson jacket.

In the video, Roky receives his plastic likeness at SXSW. With all that has gone on with Roky’s head, this is the first time its been throbbled. But he looks like nothing could surprise him.
